OOTD | Monochromatic Gingham

Tuesday, 14 July 2015

I bought a new camera recently.

I received my honorarium a few days ago, then spent it all on this gorgeous camera. A Fujifilm X-T10 in Silver that looks like it came from an antique shop. It is a huge investment that my wallet hates. I could spend ages praising it, but that is another post for another time.

After a few days of toggling and tweaking, figuring out the basics, I decided to bring it out and take a few photos around the town. By a few photos, I mean mostly of my outfit.

I do have some sort of eclectic style. Though I'm still figuring out what it is, as simple and basic as it may be. A plethora of style quizzes have only established that I still have remnants of that goth/emo phrase. It is still waiting for me to relapse through clothes.

Perhaps that is why I consider this my greatest garb styled. It embodied a collection of my favourite aesthetics. Black, stripes, copacetic accessories. The innate need to look cooler than the harsh truth of my eccentricities. Though my personal style is still unidentified, I like to think of this as a starting point.

I scurried around my room, picking up clothes that I loved but haven't worn in ages. An oversized button down passed down from my mother. Black and white gingham jeggings worn twice. Nude heels bought on sale but never worn. Hell, I've only used this clutch once to a party even though it's gorgeous.

How fascinating it is to find treasures in the cave called the closet.

So, with my outfit ready and camera charged, I had an adventure with my younger sister and brother.

We traveled around our little town while our baby sister baked cookies at our cousins' house. It was supposed to be just my sister and me. However, my brother decided a day carrying our bags was slightly less miserable than staying at home without power. Overall, it was a wonderful day with my siblings.

We visited these festivals, with the intention of purchasing some items. We met some incredible vendors, selling products from food to fashion to pillows. I picked up a few items, knowing I would regret it if I didn't.

Much walking was involved. By the time we broke fast, "At least I look cute," was my mantra to keep moving even though my feet ached. All in the name of searching what my style is.

So while I'm still figuring that out, I have to ask. What's your personal style? What outfits make you feel good?

Ahh, Bash, my favourite outfit from you to date! This is chic, classy and you look so. good. Those heels are to die for and your bag! Your new camera is wonderful!

Funny, really, being a personal style blogger and all, I'm still figuring out my own style. I'd say I'm in between vintage, elegant and modern right now. At least that's what people tell me I am. Whatever the case, cheers to discovering our styles!

Absolutely love this outfit. Shopping your stash is always fun, especially when you find some gems! I saw these jeggings in uniqlo and am now kicking myself that I didn't try them on. They look fabulous x

Loving the outfit and the quality of the new camera. My personal style is very relaxed. I grew up on Guam, so wearing anything more than shorts and shirts were just unbearable. I still love my plain look throughout the year.

Congrats on getting a new camera, that's exciting! Looking forward to reading about it :) I love your style, Bash, you always look so sweet, and I LOVE the jeggings in this outfit, totally cute! I don't know if I have a style, I tend to go "cute, check, comfy, check" and then I'm sold, haha :) it's why I'd make a pretty crappy fashion blogger x

Stunner <3 <3 <3 Those trousers are so cute! I'm still waiting for the day I have enough money to invest in a new camera >_< Hopefully it will be one day soon! It's really hard to sum up my style in a few words so for now I'll leave it as undefined with a dash of magic haha~xxxShe Will Be

Yay on the new camera! I've been saving up for a camera and hopefully, i can get a good one soon! And you look lovely in this outfit! ;) Love the eye makeup, especially that cat eye liner!-xoxoAngel from With Love Lily Rose

I LOVE your outfit. The pants + shawl are ace. I wish I could pull that off. I think my favorite outfits are just classic and simple- I love crisp button ups or white tees, but I'm hoping to add more things like cardigans and belts to change it up a bit!

Gorgeous outfit, a monochrome dream if ever there was one! I'm with you on still being a bit lost as to what my style really is, mainly based on how I feel when I wake up (but I doubt that's the technical terminology;)

You definitely have a style, and it fits you so well! I also really love your nose ring, not too many people can pull those off, but you do so flawlessly! I've never really been able to figure out what to call my style, there are definitely certain things I'm drawn towards, but they don't all lump into one category.

Hi Bash, you're stunning!! I love this monochromatic look which I've been wearing a lot lately too!Sending you much love & I hope this day is as beautiful as you are!xoxo, Vanessawww.whatwouldvwear.net
